Summary
Occult-kun hadn't said or tried anything, even though he'd had ample opportunity. He'd stared at her, yeah, but she'd been inches away from him in a weird-as-hell situation she'd personally manufactured. And he'd looked at her face, anyway.
He didn't seem disgusted by her, either. He didn't even seem annoyed.
He… didn't seem to care who she was.
And holy hell, that was kind of… amazing.---
Companion piece/sidequel to my other work, Empty Space -
A no-powers AU in which Ken and Momo deal with complex situations and the fallout, mental and physical, of the choices they make, while slowly coming to recognize their own faults and their feelings for each other.
Some liberties have been taken with character backgrounds & certain personality traits have been tweaked.
E rating for a later chapter. There will be a content warning in the notes and it will be skippable!Series

Summary
For months, Momo's kept the tightest lid on her feelings about Okarun, terrified of screwing up the best friendship she's ever had. After Momo gets upset about Okarun's group project, though, Vamola convinces her to finally admit that she's in love with the boy. Honestly, it's a huge relief - Momo finds that she's thrilled to finally put it all in words, even if it's just to Vamola.
The only problem is… somebody overheard them.

Summary
They could talk about the most boring, mundane topics, and Ken would be fascinated, totally engaged. It was Momo's voice, hypnotic and bursting with personality - her smile, her sparkling rosewood pink eyes. And it was the silence, too, when he was speaking. The way she watched him with rapt attention, like there could be nothing else worth noticing in the entire universe.
Okarun's warmth washed over her in gentle waves. Whenever they just talked like this, dropped all the teasing and silly antics, time stretched in the most pleasant way; his sweet voice was the loveliest panacea, soothing her manic energy into a trusting stupor as she hung on every thoughtfully chosen word.
---
After an evening alone, Momo and Okarun come dangerously close to admitting their feelings.
Includes passing mention of some manga-only characters, but otherwise spoiler-free.

Summary
There are tears on Momo's face. He wants to wipe them away. He wishes that he could just hold her hand one more time.
Regret after regret and shame and guilt wash over him, viscous, poisonous waves of it - he's going to become a yokai himself, because there's too much pain, too much unfinished business - he can't leave, he can't die, he has to protect her, he has to love her, no matter what it costs ----
Ken dies fighting to protect Momo. When Turbo Granny brings him back, Momo is horrified.
Light spoilers for ch. 210 on.

Summary
He had to stay safe at arm’s length. Never closer, not when it was his choice. Being any closer to her meant a heart ready to burst, a tongue so heavy he could barely form a word, a brain so sluggish he could scarcely will himself to draw breath. There was a forcefield around her that he couldn’t breach, not without splitting into a thousand little ribbons.

Spoiler-free, late-night pining, set pre-Danmara in an AU where cellphones exist!

Summary
Haruki ran a tight ship as owner of Moe Moe Kikoho. You had to, at a maid cafe, to make sure the girls weren't being taken advantage of. That meant ensuring the rules were followed, including the one about workers' boyfriends not being allowed to hang around the cafe all shift.
But well… the quiet otaku tucked away in the corner booth while the newest girl, Momo, works her shift…
He seems polite enough. She supposes he can stay.
After all, Momo insists he's not her boyfriend.

Summary
With a quivering breath, Ken closed his eyes and began to slowly rock his form with hers to the beat of the band behind them. For those last few moments before he was to begin, he reveled in those glorious sounds and prayed to whomever was listening that this wouldn't be the last time he'd be on this stage if it meant feeling like this.
The tap of her fingers on his shoulder counted him in and with one final touch, there was no going back.
